I got a chance to check out the dance on Friday after school and it looked like everyone was having a great time! It was fun to see them so excited about getting dressed up, doing their hair, and getting out on the dance floor. I was looking forward to showing them a couple of my classic moves, but our daughter has forbidden me from dancing in public. I think she's jealous because I'm so smooth. I tried to explain to her that the key is to pretend you're guarding Michael Jordan in the last three seconds of a championship game and keep your arms and legs going in different directions. Smooth.
Speaking of smooth, some of the students have quickly gotten the hang of letting their cursive handwriting flow across the page with ease. The school had three ring binders for any teacher who wanted some, so I grabbed one for each student. They got to decorate the cover of "My Cursive Journal", and this gives them something else to focus on when their assigned work is completed. Attractive handwriting is a lost art, but they loved practicing their names once I reminded them about all the autographs they would have to sign after they wrote their first book, appeared on television with their latest invention, or became a famous ballplayer or singer. Works every time!
